Wish we had someone that pish

Cantwell and Tillman have both outperformed him since the world cup break. He got dropped for Mooy at one point.

Would say Tillman is massively underrated on here if anything.

Same.

Always said folk are in for a big shock if he goes. Will need to spend a shit load to replace what he can do and his potential not to mention future worth.

If he doesn't want to stay then hey ho but if there is a chance he does we need to be all over it.

I would not be surprised if the very folk who belittle him now also in the future go on to moan about his replacement not being as good and complaining we never made the deal permanent.

Gonna be a case of not realising what you had till its gone.

Some people just don’t like the players who aren’t sweating their bollocks off. Tillman (and Aribo before him) covered a lot of ground but because they’re style makes it look as if they’re coasting they’re easy targets.

I think it was more the disappearing in big games, rather than their running style to be fair…

Tillman was getting called lazy before Gio left, when we'd played them once, and he'd played a massive part in getting us into the champions league.

100%. He’s constantly top for things like recovery tackles during games, which I think goes under the radar. Plus he scores and assists regularly. In his first full season as s first team player, in a new country, in a struggling team. The criticism for not doing it v the paedos is valid and if he did sign would need to be put right quickly. But the boy is a player, and for £5m is a no brainer if he wants to be here.

He has bags of talent but its a lot of money for us and he hasn't stood out in the big games IMO . 

If we had a pile of money I think he'd be worth buying but with the rebuild that's needed I don't think we can afford to pay 5 mill for him 

[Smile 26,622]

Listening to Beale he say's its all up to the player and some have said there were rumours he did not rate the SPFL, cannot blame him for that.

Wouldn't blame him for wanting a move to a better standard of league for his own development.

Yes, flair players like him will not like get booted up in the air all the time with little or no protection from the refs.

I think gap in the standard of teams outwith us and them has got wider.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Tillman could do worse than stick about here next season tbh. He badly needs another year of consistent first team football. 

[sassaaaa 11,406]

Only a matter of time till hes back in the US , same as his brother.

[Clemdog 39,389]

Right player at the wrong time when it comes to Tillman. If we didn't have such a big rebuild this Summer he'd be the exact player to invest in. 

But sadly we just don't have that sort of money to through about. 

Not sure what his next step is in his career if he doesn't fancy the SPFL mixed in with the EL/CL. Can't imagine he'd enjoy the slog of the Championship.

I think he could get a loan to one of the bigger names, but struggling Bundesliga teams off the back of his season here tbh.

Probably fair, for someone who doesn’t watch the Bundesliga do you reckon he’d do well at a Schalke or Bremen? 

[kaiser1041 9,088]

We won’t see him again 

it’s a shame because he’s got outstanding potential

I rely on you for footballing knowledge.

We spent about the same on Ridvan as it would cost to sign Tillman. I reckon the latter would provide more value for money than Ridvan has 

[KeyserSoze 14,684]

I’m thinking he’s off. For good 

I just get the vibe he’s not feeling Scotland 

[OrangeRab 3,023]

Think he might have felt differently if this season hadn’t gone so badly. If it was last season or the season before.

He’s not managed to experience a cup win, an old firm win, a long European run etc

Coupled with a dressing room where 3 of your big players want to leave. 

It probably hasn’t been the most infectious environment - he hasn’t really got to experience many highs. So then you’re just left with playing shite like Motherwell each week in shite weather. Understandable why a player like him would prefer a different league. More technical, maybe less physical and more ref protection. It’s a real shame

 

[GersInCanada 7,775]

Would love for him to stay but at the moment I just can't see it. Currently back in Germany and I suspect that he has played for us for the last time.

Begs the question why bother signing him last summer at all then, everyone knew we needed a big summer last year, and in doing the bare minimum we were always just kicking the can down the road to this summer.
